I had a very nice and lengthy chat with our roommates ex-wife tonight. My apprehension in making the call was dissolved in the first few seconds. She couldn't have been nicer. We tried to answer each others questions the best we could and I think, if nothing else, we both have a little bigger piece of the puzzle than we had earlier.
My biggest concern has been the daughter. She took the news very hard but seems to be holding up ok. Her mom welcomed the idea of us sending a letter to her and it will go out in the mail tomorrow. Mom also said she would bring her over to visit us in the next couple of weeks. It brings a little comfort to know that we can stay in touch with her.
The call was very hard but I'm so happy that it turned out the way it did. I had a good cry afterwards and feel better now. All part of the healing process.
I can't thank you enough for all of the kind words of support.
